THE HYPE BUT DOES SHE HAVE A SON NAMED CODY? L.A. ATTORNEY IS BONA FIDE HIT IN KATHIE LEE'S CHAIR.``Live With Regis and Ronda''? It would be a dream come true, says Ronda Jamgotchian, who was Regis Philbin's co-host Thursday on ``Live With Regis.'' Jamgotchian, 33, a labor attorney at O'Melveny and Myers, Los Angeles' oldest law firm, was selected from more than 15,000 applicants who sent videos of themselves explaining why they wanted a chance to co-host the show. Jamgotchian says she might have been picked because on her tape she said she sang TV theme songs and did ``a mean Edith Bunker Edith Bunker (née Baines) is a fictional 1970s sitcom mom on All in the Family (and occasionally Archie Bunker's Place), played by Jean Stapleton. She was the wife of Archie Bunker, mother of Gloria Bunker-Stivic, mother-in-law of Michael "Meathead" Stivic, .'' She and Philbin did sing the ``All in the Family'' theme song, with rave reviews on and off the set. Philbin called her ``a natural comedian,'' and executive producer Michael Gelman Michael Gelman (born August 4, 1961) is an executive producer of Live with Regis and Kelly (formerly Live with Regis and Kathie Lee). He also occasionally takes small roles on television, appearing in two episodes of Kelly Ripa's ABC sitcom Hope and Faith told the Daily News, ``She was a lot of fun, with a good energy and a good presence.'' Back at the office, co-worker Nancy Solomon gathered with about 80 members of the law firm for a breakfast viewing and exclaimed, ``I thought she was awesome ... very natural ... and we were impressed with her singing, as well as her leather pants.'' Jamgotchian said of her 15 minutes of fame: ``At LAX, I was recognized and asked to pose for pictures, and when I got back to my office Friday I discovered more than 200 e-mails, calls and faxes from viewers and friends. And of course, my office has said how proud they are of me. Well, not everyone. I haven't heard from former Secretary of State Warren Christopher, who is part of the firm, but then he wasn't there for the viewing breakfast.''
